tears in her beautiful eyes,
said the closest she'd be was around
My honky -tonk merry -go -round
But she couldn't take being put down
On my honky -tonk merry -go -round
Cause my paycheck still buys tickets
that come in flip -top cans
My silver dimes still strike up
Is riding a honky -tonk merry
So she left me and I thought,
I won't feel so guilty tonight
With my complete honky -tonk line
Cost my paycheck, still buys tickets
That come in flip -top cans
My silver dimes still strike up
It's ridin' a honky -tonk
It's ridin' a honky -tonk
